From the old country decor, complete with genuine antiques and memorabilia, to the sweet smell of confection that hits you like a chocolate truffle upside the head, step through the doors and step back in time. The days were simpler then, and the big decision of the day was whether to have a Root Beer Float or an Ice Cream Sundae. So come on in, browse around, stop for a game of checkers or a chat with the owners of Tall Pines, and just enjoy a bit of nostalgia
"One of the most beautiful and breathtaking parts of the Unadilla River. Wildlife is abundant. Great fishing."- The Unadilla River Canoe Guide
Enjoy the beauty and adventure of the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers from atop a canoe! Shaded here and there with giant willows, and crossed periodically by small bridges, you'll feel like you're in a nostalgic Norman Rockwell painting as you float past small dairy farms and rural villages. Loaded with smallmouth bass, bullhead and rock bass, try your hand at fishing, or simply relax and watch for birds or wildlife along the banks.
